Turnigy 80amp/12s haha

[b.mcdaniel.2009]

Just fryed my Turnigy 80amp esc on 10s a few days ago. Didnt even get a chance to do a run. Just went up in smoke at about 1/2 throttle Had 2 3s packs and 2 2s packs. All same brand c-rating and mah. Did i do something wrong hear or did i just get a *!***!***!***!**ty esc.(Was even programmed properly)

Wow!

thats a lot of juice to put through an 80amp esc.
How do you guys do it?
Poor thing....lol

Anyone?

Dude - what motor, what prop, type of boat???? Can't even begin to say without all that info.

If it was the apparition cat with the Turnigy 600 1400kv you need to go back to the drawing board and study setups. That motor is rated @ 110 amps and suggests a 150 amp speed controls. Do you really wonder why it went pooooooof with an 80a esc?

Over propped/RPM'd it and too high of KV for the ESC. 10s 1400kv is 51k RPM.

For 10s use the 880kv model motor. With 1400kv, use the 6s 180a ESC and you're good to go.

I have a T80 HV that I run on 8-12s, but that's with a 38mm prop and 880kv.

(don't pay any attention to it)


I get excited and burn stuff up to. Just learn from it and build more better faster!

Still waiting for all the facts and your setup.

DID YOU hook up 12s to a hv 80 amp controller and a 1400kv motor? There are far more problems there than you may think. Good thing you didn't get it in the water!

[FighterCat57]

I can help explain, since I sold him the boat.

I was selling two boats, a. 1400kv, no speedo b. 880kv, 80HV speedo. Both Apparition hulls, painted with same looking setups. There was a lot of talk about running boat b on 12s and running boat a on 6s w/turnigy 180a. I've had fairly good luck running the 80HV on 8, 10 and 12s in boat b. He chose boat a and needed a speedo. At the time I didn't have any high amp ESC's.

Being excited about a new boat, there must have been some confusion on the setup info which resulted in the 80HV being hooked up to the 1400kv motor.

To a pro, mis-matching KV/Volts is a stupid mistake. To a sport boater or somewhat new FE boater, it's an easy mistake. Especially when there's a very similar setup with very close numbers.

Im confused here...........the OP has made four posts and still has not shared/confirmed his setup.............unless its the 1400kv being tossed around

[Rumdog]

Ahh. I see.

I can. I built it. 1400kv 4030 Outrunner, 078 wire, K45 prop. 32" Apparition Cat Hull.
Good for 6s/200a ESC for 50+ mph. (Video available in the Project Apparition Two thread. )
Bad on 10s/80a ESC
